An excellent document from an unparalleled local band, around since the late 80s but known only to privileged locals; a rare capture of her energy by producer Mike Wright. “Grace Braun (Dark Beloved Cloud) is one of America’s most talented and prolific singer-songwriters” – WELH, Brown Student Radio. “A noisy, clamorous affair of enthusiasm, propelling each track forward… DQE straddles psychobilly and cow punk...

Two of our favorite people on the Earth kick back and rap, swing, roll and sweat on 20+ tracks. “A wild and wooly ride of childish humor and wacky home-recorded pop” – modernfix.com. “There is a childlike quality to this music … FairMoore, even at its most “out”, is full of uncomplicated pop songs expressing unabashed (and unashamed) feelings… Cherish this record’s cheerful oddness,...

Man, these guys could put on a live show! But they also rocked a studio for these songs and they sound every bit as dreamy as they did live. Forever was Ben Young’s post-Bad Poet/pre-Bon Vivants group, and if you are familiar with either of those incarnations you’ll be ripe for this sweet fruit. “A charming album of pop songs inspired by ’60s psychedelic...

A compilation of home and studio (Subpop) recordings by a founding member of indie legend Sebadoh. “Gaffney—both during Sebadoh and post-Sebadoh—seems to most embody the DIY spirit that has come to partially define the band and, in turn, the bands they inspired… With its ample runtime and easy charms, Uncharted Waters provides a fine place for catching up with Gaffney”- The Red Alert. “Gaffney’s...

Ben Young, Rob Parham, Tim Genius, and Ben Lawless; recorded on multiple four-tracks by Lawless in Flournoy Holmes’ mansion on Ponce de Leon. In The Wire, Byron Coley called it a “lo-fi hammer of nonironic guitar rock” and compared it to Billy Synth. “The glee/anger is rivaled today only by Black Lips, who are in their own class. But I dare you to listen...

“A name of French-English origins for a bespectacled gentlemen, LMALL spin spools of audio blankets that seek to cover and connect all points and corners of the world” – Impose Magazine. “Sounds warm, quiet, sad but also somehow ironic… a mix of twee pop, electronic; bizarre, warm and jazzy… The first Italian band to have performed at the prestigious festival of indiepop Emmaboda (Sweden).”...

A bright light of Atlanta’s 90’s underground, DeWitt as he sometimes called himself is no longer with us, but this CD remains. Culled from tapes sent to Old Gold from 1994 to 1999, and a final cd sent to Tiger Tiger’s Shane Pringle in 2003, this is a great compilation with a photo of Witt by Chan Marshall that also includes a Quicktime copy...

Lovely, and limited to 500 copies”...

Back when Old Gold was all about cassette tapes, we got a curious package in the mail from Winnipeg. In it was a letter from Michael Dumontier extolling the virtues of our Howard Finster cassette release, some highly amusing collaborative drawings, and a “Tape for Old Gold” crafted with unique handmade slipcase/booklet, which became this record. Dumontier was a member of Royal Art Lodge,...

Marshall Avett, Stewart Voegtlin and Tony Gordon present an artifact of genuine protest against the Bush administration improvised and recorded at the outbreak of the cold war. “Z Vs W is pretty monstrous.
